myself and senator snowe, senator pryor, senator lieberman, senator enzi, senator kerry, senator brown, cantwell, ayotte, cardin and hagan; a very good representation of our small business committee and others, mr. president, that filed a resolution this week, again, and we've done so every year since 1953. we've done so every year since 1953, to recognize this week, or one week in the year as small business week. and so that's what our resolution which was filed earlier today does. and i hope that leaders mcconnell and reid will take this up and pass it, so that we can honor the 28 million small businesses that exist today in america. we've been doing everything we can, and i'm very proud as the chairman of the small business committee that we've worked in a bipartisan fashion for the most part, trying to give our businesses, first of all, the recognition that nine out of ten new jobs created are being created by a small number of small businesses that are fast growing. they are the net new job creators. these are the businesses that are going to be putting this recession behind us. t
